Of course, this won't help Mario's problem, but...  

A documented fact, yes indeedy.......

Have to figure out where to spend my money: New gears, seals, limited slip,
rear disc brakes, freshen Panhard rod, rear shocks,
>bushings incl the traction bars, etc.-- or some combination of the above.

What gear ratio you gonna go to ? Hey ,  re: limited slip,  are there any
torsen units floating around anywhere ?

Don't know, but I've got a brand new cast aluminum cover sitting in a box in
the  basement if you want to scope it out.

>>after we all jack up our cars with the shackles, the diff will show, and
we'll need to pretty them up.       :)

Mmmm-hmm.  I think that's why they carry day-glo paint at the hardware
store.  You can then match your steering wheel cover and windshield wipers !

Lemme know when you get the new master cylinder and whatever else you were
expecting.  I can come over and give you a hand installing, etc.   Maybe we
can even get together with Mario...
